On these pages we've compiled a number of examples of risk of bias assessments - the good, the bad, and those that are a bit unclear. Feel free to work through them yourself and come up with an assessment of low, unclear, or high risk of bias (our judgments and rationale are on the assessments page), or download a spreadsheet file with the same information. RoB assessments are divided up into the seven major domains: sequence generation, allocation concelment, blinding of participants/personnel, blinding of outcome assessors, incomplete outcome data, selective outcome reporting, and other sources of bias. A quotation is given with the article title following in brackets.
If you have other examples, please add them to the list!
